Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Rashidi Ladoja, has lauded the Ogunsua of Modakeke, Oba Joseph Toriola and the residents of the town for allowing peace to reign in the area.
Oba Ladoja said the sustenance of peace has now brought massive developments to the town.
The monarch stated this over the weekend at the grand finale of the 40th Akoraye Day celebrations.
Speaking in Yoruba language, Oba Ladoja further said, “When I became Olubadan, Ogunsua and a delegation from Modakeke came to visit me, they told me about the connection between Ibadan and Modakeke. I quite agree with them. The visit took place in September.
“They also told me that Akoraye Day will hold and I promised to attend the event. I have just fulfilled that promise. I am happy to be here. When we were young, what we often heard was mainly about fighting. But for some time, that has stopped, which is an indication of the Ogunsua’s commitment to peace. I commend him for the hard work.
“There can’t be progress in an atmosphere filled with unrest. That is why Modakeke is currently experiencing development. I note your cooperation towards achieving communal goals. I know the Governor (Adeleke) has noted all you mentioned as needs.”
In his remarks, the Ogunsua of Modakeke, Oba Toriola, lauded indigenes of the town for their commitment to the development of Modakeke.
Oba Toriola said the community was enjoying steady growth owing to the advice from its indigenes and their dedication to matters relating to the town.
